As soon as it became clear, the people in the temporary camp had already packed up their equipment, concentrated their garbage, and were ready to start searching as planned.

Leader Li also got up early, washed his face briefly with water, rinsed his mouth, and started to check the situation of the team while eating compressed dry food.

Although the company kept them secret and didn’t say anything clearly, it was a little unpleasant for Team Leader Li to perform the task, but he had to say that the treatment was quite good, so that he could completely ignore this unpleasant feeling.

Not only does it have excellent remuneration and benefits, high field subsidies, bonuses, but also the equipment and various supplies are quite complete when it comes to missions.

Just like this compressed dry grain in the hand, it is not available on the market. It is specially developed and produced for them by the company’s research and development section. There is nothing on the package except the shelf life.

In fact, leader Li suspected that things like this are likely to be researched by the high-paying researcher idle pain in the balls in the R & D section. If he got it out by himself, even if there is no market for it, it is still possible to cooperate with the military There are many orders and income. These compressed dry foods are much better than those standard products he was eating before.

The team was organized in less than an hour. After they left, except for the traces of the camp, there was no domestic garbage left.

“Fang Court Academecian, look at today’s search plan. Is there anything you want to modify?”

Leader Li handed a very heavy tablet to the accompanying female Court Academecian, who had to follow her opinion.

Fang Court Academecian looks like he is in his 30s. His skin is not as white as that of Team Li, and his facial features are relatively rough. He looks a little masculine, and is not inferior to those who have experience in military camps.

She glanced at the tablet, didn’t take it, and said, “Mr. Liang agrees.”

Captain Lee retired the tablet a little bit. In fact, it was his authority to arrange the search plan. He didn’t need to ask the Court Academecian for his opinion. The reason why he asked was actually to use this to talk to the Court Academecian. As long as she gives an opinion, she can follow the words and naturally ask for more information. Although he thinks that the researchers who were in the laboratory before may not know all the conditions, they should be more than those who run the field.

A few minutes later, Mr. Li and Mr. Liang talked through a satellite connection.

Their search method is special, because most of them don’t know exactly what they are looking for.

There are four crew members on the ground with cameras, and three small drones in the air also carry cameras to search and shoot everywhere, and pass the picture through the drone platform higher up to the “Mr. Liang who is beyond a thousand li” “.

Mr. Liang can choose which camera to switch to, or watch all the pictures at the same time.

Generally speaking, unless there are obvious abnormal traces or Mr. Liang orders directly, they will walk quickly along the planned route without any detailed search.

But in the deep mountains of the Qinling uninhabited area, he was searching for unknown creatures that may exist and did not know the specific situation. The spirit of Captain Li did not dare to relax in the slightest, and he was always watching the surroundings through various equipment Environment and team members.

This search state has been going on for five days. When Leader Li calculated the consumption of supplies and thought that this time he might return to the mountain without success, Mr. Liang first issued an order to change the search plan.

After a few hours, Mr. Liang again issued instructions to conduct a “deep investigation” of an area.

At this time, several researchers brought by Court Academecian were on the field, and Leader Li took his team members in charge of external vigilance.

After the alert was arranged, Leader Li carefully approached Fang Court Academecian, looked at the big tree around them, and whispered, “What’s wrong with this tree?”

Fang Court Academecian did not ignore his problem this time, while watching a few researchers collect samples, he replied: “It was dripped from the top by some strong corrosive liquid and was about to die.”

Leader Li looked up and frowned at the darkened tree: “Is this artificial? Or is it the kind of creature we are looking for?”

Fang Court Academecian shook his head: “For the time being, it is uncertain, but judging from the condition of this tree, it should have been attacked ten days or more ago. Unfortunately, during this time, several rains fell on the Qinling Mountains and the surrounding traces were all It was almost the same. “

“Whether it is a person or any other creature, so much corrosive liquid drips from there, should it be a sneak attack? What about the target of the sneak attack? If you are injured, how much will leave a trace? You came here Didn’t you find it? “Leader Li judged based on his experience.

When it comes to the analysis of living things and certain specific materials, he is definitely no better than the Court Academecian above them, but when it comes to the ability to survive in the wild, respond to changes, track and respond to enemies, he is much stronger than them.

“Nothing,” Fang Court Academecian said, controlling a drone slowly approaching the top of the tree to shoot and observe.

Mr. Liang’s unpleasant voice sounded from the communicator: “Gather the samples you need, don’t spend too much time here, use this tree as the center, start searching on three sides, and start from the east.”

Mr. Liang spoke, whether it was Team Leader Li or Fang Court Academecian.

For this strange-sounding “Mr. Liang”, Leader Li’s curiosity will not be less than the unknown creatures they are now tracking.

You know, after he was introduced and entered a special section of the company, even Lu Chengan, the founder and chairman of “Shenxing Technology”, which has little news from the outside world, has met, but this “good “Mr.” but he never heard anyone.

However, Chairman Lu explained that in this section, “Mr. Liang” is solely responsible, and everyone must follow the instructions of “Mr. Liang” to do things.

Leader Li looked at Court Academecian, who was silent in front of him. He couldn’t help but guess that these researchers working in the laboratory had not seen “Mr. Liang”?

But he would definitely not ask at this time, because now wearing a communication device, Mr. Liang could hear every word he said. It can also be said that the situation of the unknown creature is for their own safety. But asking Mr. Liang, it is very likely to cross the line, which belongs to “information outside the authority of snooping”.

Before the sun went down, they found a very special “trace”.

That was half a footprint, and obviously a human footprint.

However, the relatively obvious trace is only the edge of the thumb, and the other parts have been blurred.

This is also because the footprint was blocked by the protruding rocks next to it and the surrounding weeds, and was not completely washed away by the previous heavy rains.

“Let your people not walk around, there may be footprints elsewhere.” Fang Court Academecian immediately explained to Captain Li.

Leader Li complied, using Wireless Electronics to inform the surrounding team members, stand by, alert, pay attention to the surrounding situation.

“Looking at this footprint, it should have been a while.” Leader Li observed and said beside him.

“Scan this footprint and look around to see if there are other traces.” Mr. Liang also instructed.

Although this may seem like a normal human footprint, its appearance in this Qinling uninhabited area is a big doubt.

What kind of person would walk barefoot in this old forest in the mountains?

Even if they are a well-equipped and experienced team like this, it will take a lot of effort, I am afraid that there will be no lonely tourists with the ability and courage to come here-not to mention wearing shoes.

“Will it be a savage?” Leader Li asked tentatively, and based on the size of the thumb on the footprint, he initially determined that the owner of the footprint was a tall adult male.

Mr. Liang did not speak, and Fang Court Academecian scanned the footprints intently without answering.

If this kind of footprints were collected in the wild in the past, liquid paraffin would be used for impression preservation. But now it is not that much trouble. After scanning with a portable scanner, record the details of the footprints and restore them with a 3D printer.

After several researchers took pictures of the surroundings carefully, they began to scoop up the dirt from the footprints and collect them back.

Walking barefoot in such places can easily leave body tissue residues.

As Fang Court Academecian and several research institutes slowly searched past all around, trying to find more footprints and other traces, Leader Li was also inexplicably excited.

If it wasn’t for the bad luck tourists who came here to break their shoes and could only walk barefoot, then it is likely that the owner of the footprints was already living deep in the Qinling uninhabited area.

Does the unknown creature they are tracking look like a human?

But how did the wound on the dead boar in the video shot by the anchor cause?

Is it bow and arrow?

So is this a savage living in the old forest in the mountains?

What’s so special about this savage?

Leader Li didn’t believe that “Shenxing Technology” would spend that much money, just to find savages. And from the previous several times he took the team to perform field tasks to speculate, it must not be simply to find a savage.

“Hope that guy is still there.”

Leader Li checked the anesthetic gun used to deal with large beasts and tightened his tactical gloves.

Unfortunately, they searched for a long time. Although they also found a few mud pits suspected of footprints, they did not have a relatively complete shape like the previous footprints.

However, this actually proves from the side that the footprint is unlikely to be left by tourists who have worn their shoes and have to go barefoot.

“Continue to look east.” Mr. Liang gave instructions again.

A day later, at the prompt of Mr. Liang, they found a cave on the cliff.

They first confirmed their safety with the drone, then prepared for more than an hour, and slowly entered the cave from above.

Leader Li is one of the three people who entered the cave. The space inside the cave is not large or deep, and it is permeated with a very complicated stench. After confirming that there are only some wild beast debris in the cave, he will Let Fang Court Academecian take someone down.

As the court mouth helped the court Academecian who came down the rope to release the protective buckle, Captain Li frowned and looked around the cave, wondering, “Here is the savage’s den? How did he get in?” Under Mr. Liang’s instructions, he has subconsciously believed that this cave is the nest of the “geek” who left footprints.

Shortly after Fang Court Academecian and several researchers entered the cave, they came to a conclusion:

The dead bodies of several birds and birds in the cave did not find any fatal wounds. They seemed to be running to this cave and waiting to die on their own. Judging from the degree of decay, he died about half a month.

Fang Court Academecian and the others not at all did a too detailed inspection here. After simply shooting and recording the situation on the scene, they mounted the corpses and lifted them to the cliff through ropes.

“It’s weird …” After walking around the cave for a while, Captain Li felt stranger, because he didn’t find anything like traces of human life-even “geek”.

Then he stopped in front of a corner inside the cave, using a tactical flashlight to illuminate the piece in the corner … a woodcarving?

“Fang Court Academecian, come over and look at this.”

Leader Li did not dare to do a direct inspection, but called a court Academecian who was directing other researchers to bag the birds and birds.

Fang Court Academecian, who came over, saw frowns saying, “What is this?”

She inspected the surroundings carefully and determined that there was nothing abnormal, and picked up the woodcarving with her hands in plastic gloves.

It is said to be woodcarving, but in fact it is very rough. It is obviously made of a piece of wood that is casually folded, only the size of a fist.

The lower part is the broken surface of the wood, which is obviously broken with brute force instead of sawing with a tool. The upper part is carved with a grinning cartoon rabbit.

This can only be said to be a rough, without any grinding, and it does not seem to be carved with a special sculpting tool, but rather “chiseled out” with fangs, so this rabbit looks very strange.

“That ‘savage’ carved? Is this the god it believes in?” Group leader Li murmured, “Fang Court Academecian, have you seen the rabbit’s shape before? It seems that I have not heard of any civilization. Believe that Totem is a rabbit? “

Court Academecian shook his head, displayed the woodcarving in front of the camera, and slowly rotated so that Mr. Liang could see the whole picture clearly.

“Bring it back.” Mr. Liang did not judge the woodcarving, but simply said.

After packing and hoisting the objects that were worthy of the cave, Team Leader Li and Fang Court Academecian also left the cave.

After returning to the top of the cliff, Team Leader Li used the tablet to bring up the map. While doing a subsequent search plan centered on the cave, he calculated that the supplies they carried this time could still last for a few days. Do n’t worry about eating and drinking, but Energy for many devices, including small drones, is a problem. He was thinking about whether to apply to Mr. Liang, send someone in from outside to support, and bring in some necessary supplies by the way.

After all, this time, it seems likely that they are getting closer and closer to the unknown creature they are tracking.

This is the first time he has felt this way since so many field figures.

But didn’t expect Mr. Liang suddenly said: “It’s okay, let’s withdraw.”

Not only is Team Leader Lee, but Court Academecian, who has always been relatively quiet, also subconsciously replied: “But we have found a clue …”

Mr. Liang also explained a little more rarely: “It’s dangerous, you can’t deal with it.”

very dangerous?

Leader Li looked at the equipment on his body and the members of his subordinates. Even when they encountered wolves, they could easily deal with the fierce wild beasts such as bears, lions, and tigers. Even if they encounter a team of heavily armed robbers, with their current equipment, they can certainly find each other in advance, and they may not have to fight.

Why does Mr. Liang feel dangerous?

Then why did he spend that many money asking them to investigate?

Or are they just investigating, or are there other teams they don’t know that are really responsible for capturing unknown creatures?

Although there were many doubts in his heart, he didn’t ask any more because he knew that Mr. Liang would definitely not answer.

So leader Li and Fang Court Academecian assigned the task of carrying the “samples” packed in the cave, and the team began to move in the direction they recalculated and left the fastest.

In the evening, Leader Li was still skilled in arranging vigilance and camping, and told his deputy that he was going to sleep in the sleeping bag early after the middle of the night.
